Could it be that the loser of a prop bet on High Stakes had to do this show. ????

Daniel has always claimed that props are what kept him from being too far in the red on High Stakes Poker.

From what I understand in his blogs, Rob is actually his friend.

I busted him in one of his early outings, aparrently in the episode that's airing this week. I had a short interview that my buddies said was aired and it looked good. Anybody see the show? I have yet to catch it.

So far, I've seen the one episode, where he pushes on a flush draw.

Had me ROFL. What a tool. Whoever they interviewed afterward certainly came off a lot better than Rob did.

[MaverickUSC]

Thanks. Whoever they interviewed was me. Y'all will get a kick out of how this hand went down:

Ten minutes into the session, him and I are only players with full stacks of $1k, ten handed. He limps UTG, I raise MP w/KTo, five of us to the flop. Comes KTx two diamonds, he opens for $30, I pop it to $120, folds around, he makes it... $1k? "I decided to make a move, and whaddya know he called with two pair."

I was disappointed however because they knew who I was and chose to not mention anything... not even a name. They were talking about how good it would be for TV that he got busted by a Vegas pro so quickly, but I suppose they decided to put a different spin on the show. At least they didn't spin me off to make me look like a dick!

Apparently I don't understand reality TV. They talk as if they are making real life decisions but there are cameras present to record the conversations between him and his wife. That would indicate that it was decided ahead of time to make a TV show. Therefore, one must conclude that they are acting???

[w_gibbs]

This show would be much better if they just showed the reality dude donking off max buy-ins and then chalking it up to bad luck the whole time. I don't need to hear him talk to his wife. As an aside, he comes across as a super steamcase.

I watched the show and Rob is listed at the Executive Producer which means his wife knew in advance. It's not like she would say well Rob is the executive producer so I guess I will say no to the poker playing.

He seems like he is going to be a complete donkey. The whole show seems to be a complete joke. Rob says he is not a 9 to 5 type and wants to play poker. Lucky him he was able to pitch a "reality show" to Fox.

I a sad to see Daniel Negreanu got involved with this turkey.

[toots]

I watch it just to see my prediction that Rob's got too many impulse control problems to do anything but lose spectacularly.

But, it seems like about DN's speed. I mean, DN's a great poker player, but I have some grave doubts as to his quality as a person, and by extension, his ability to judge character.

Nice Job Bryan

Rob goes all in with A6 of diamonds and you bust him with two pair. Then they interview you and you basically say, yeah these new no limit donks do that move all the time.

Nice perm by the way.

[MaverickUSC]

Thanks. Don't knock the curls. I'm half black and all the genes went into my hair and cack.
